Nestle saw an opportunity
When I saw the box of Vital Pursuit Chicken Mozzarella Pizza, I thought I’d buy it. It seemed like an option created for the health and fitness conscious consumer. I figured I’d try it and look into it. Turns out I was right, but Nestle had a much more specific target market in mind: GLP-1…
